I have an r9-380 and I want to connect 3 monitors. I currently have 3 acer h236hl bid 23" monitors and two are hooked up, one through DVI-I and one through HDMI. My r9 still has a DVI-D and a DisplayPort. Can I use a Dvi-D cable for my 3rd monitor? Or do I have to buy an active display port adapter? If so, can anyone recommend a cheap one (under$25) prime eligible on Amazon? They all look the same to me so i don't know which are active and which are passive and don't want to waste my money.

Thanks in advance,
Hallie

Update: I tried it with a DVI-D and it worked, no display port adapter needed. Eyefinity recognizes everything and it works as one monitor now. Only adding this for future viewers.

(hadn't tried before posting because I didn't have DVI D cable, I bought one this afternoon.)
